    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What sunglow is this?

Moved this to the discussion forums

If he wasn't sold specifically as a sharp sunglow, then it's the kahl strain (or original strain) of albino.

The bluish stripe to me looks like some translucent scales or something. Those may color up more as it ages and yellows up.

Nice looking guy!
 
All boas yellow out to some degree as they age, normals, albinos, all of them, it's just what happens. :)

As for the orange, it may stay similar to what it is now, it may fade more, it may get darker, there's really no way to tell for sure besides a best guess or possibly seeing the parents (if they were albino/sunglow). I personally think he'll keep some nice color, esp in the tail and the saddles might fade a bit.

here's an old pic of my sharp strain albino (not a sharp sunglow though), she's super yellow and I love her like that.
